The READ Act is a bipartisan bill intended to align federal literacy efforts with the Science of Reading by shifting federal funds to support only evidence-based reading instruction, similar to already-enacted state legislation.

Dual language classrooms create a particular kind of engagement that is difficult to replicate through other means. Students are learning academic content across two languages, which is genuinely demanding.

When these groups are missing from education policy conversations, schools lose access to the perspectives of the students most directly affected by those decisions.

These latest arguments about ELs’ literacy look similar reflects a genuine misunderstanding of the state of our understanding of early literacy.

Studies have found that keeping students as English learners after they achieve proficiency on the ELPAC does not necessarily help them academically. Research shows the delay may keep students from enrolling in advanced courses and electives in middle and high school and can affect their motivation and attendance.
